almost seems as xymon had a back-off throttling mechanism. The first

it seemed to go to ten minutes. After I sent this email to the list it

was hoping there was some config option I missed or didn't understand

I don't use email alerts, but I'd be surprised if this was the case.
As far as I know, there's no facility within Xymon to queue up messages
like this. Is it possible that your mail system is queuing messages?</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1440767895248_15278" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1440767895248_15151"><br></div></div></body></html>
